The left-handed batsman scored 44 runs in his debutant List A game against Chhattisgarh on 28th September 2019. In his second List A game, which was against Goa, the Mumbai lad registered his maiden List A century as he scored 113 runs off 123 balls.

Jaiswal scored 22 runs in the next game against Karnataka . During his fourth List A match against Kerala, the young left-hander hit his second century in this format (122 runs off 132 balls).

The left-handed batsman completed the stunning List A double-century in 149 balls. Before losing his wicket in the last over of that innings, Yashasvi Jaiswal scored 203 runs off 154 balls (17 fours and 12 sixes). His incredible batting helped Mumbai to manage the first innings total of 358/3 (50 overs).

Yashasvi Jaiswal became the seventh Indian batsman to hit a List A double century. However, he is the youngest cricketer to hit the List A double century. He broke the 44-year-old record as Alan Barrow was the previous record holder. On 25th October 1975, at the age of 20 years and 275 days, Natal batsman Barrow scored 202* against South Africa African XI at Durban.

Another World Record!!! Yashasvi Jaiswal's 504 runs are the most by ANY batsman in his first five List A innings. Previous record was held by South African legend Graeme Pollock with 493 runs. #VijayHazare#VijayHazareTrophy
